Chris Wood has scored the match-winning goal in his home debut for Burnley to continue a sensational introduction to the Premier League club.

Making his first-ever EPL start, All Whites striker Wood fired home in the third minute of their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, pouncing on a poor back pass by Lee Chung-yong in the third minute.

The club's record signing brought the Turf Moor crowd to life and the mood rarely faltered for the rest of the match as Burnley's second win from four games lifted them to seventh in the EPL standings.

Wood has made quite a statement since his move from Championship club Leeds United last month.

His debut came off the bench against powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley, when he scored the equaliser.

The 25-year-old then returned to New Zealand and scored a hat-trick in the All Whites' 6-1 win over the Solomon Islands in the first leg of their World Cup qualifying clash.

Burnley struggled to create further chances for Wood today, conceding the greater share of possession and territory to their opponents.

However, the All White front man's predatory instinct proved the difference as he became the first player in Burnley history to score in his first two EPL matches.

It was the STG15 million ($NZ27.3m) signing's first start after having made 11 substitute appearances in the EPL, firstly with West Bromwich Albion and then Leicester City.
